BLAZE (Oh Hold)

CHAPTER TEN

7:45pm

After spending most of the day with the girls, I finally went home. Tori seemed alright after we left but that doesn't mean I'm not going to have a talk to that prick.

"I'm going for a run, be back soon!" I yell to dad getting up off the couch after doing my shoe laces.

"Be careful" Dad replies from somewhere in the house.

"I will"

Since I never got the chance to go for my daily run, I thought I should go now just to clear my mind a little, but I'm not sure how I feel about this, I usually go for runs during the day and not a night so I'm on high alert at the moment because you never know what creeps could be lurking.

As I make my way down the drive way I put my earphones in and start jogging.

Can never go wrong with some Beyoncé.

As I continue to run, I think about things I don't usually think about or as least I don't try to, but my mind always takes me back to that one person I used to look up to, that one person I adored, that one person I followed, my birth giver... My mother. Just the thought of her always makes me cringe, I know, it's terrible to think about your mother like this but I could never forgive her.

All my life I looked up to her, I tried to be the daughter she always wanted me to be. Dressing up in the clothes she wanted me to dress up in or wearing the most expensive, beautiful makeup, but no, I was never good enough for her, none of us where.

As I continue to think I begin to run faster, letting my legs take me where ever they go, and the anger inside me giving me energy to do so.

----

The warm bronze sunlight was now swallowed by the horizon. The bright sunny day engulfed in darkness. A beautiful darkness. I came to a stop, by now my legs where aching and my breathing was heavy, I leaned forward putting my hands on my knees and took my time to calm my breathing down. The cold night tired me and I closed my eyes.

Breath in.

Breath out.

I continued to tell myself for a while. Straightening myself up I take a sip of my water bottle taking a look around, that was when I realised I had no clue where I was. Everything looked different when it was dark, scary even. I took my earphones out and stood there scanning my surroundings and notice I'm standing near a small café.

I need to call Aaron.

Just as I finish dialling Aaron's number I hear a loud grunt. I stop.

I walk around the corner of the shop only to find a dimly lit parking lot that only holds a few cars. Not finding the source of the noise I decide to ignore it, I look back at my phone only to hear the same grunt but this time followed by deep laughter. And this time my head snaps up. Letting curiosity get the best of me, I lock my phone and slide it into my bra and slowly start to walk towards the direction of the noise.

Crouching on the ground behind one of the remaining cars I slowly stick my head up to look through the window and just as I do I catch sight of two boys, both seemed to be a little older than me it looks like.

One of them lifted his arm up with his fist tightly curled, at first I thought he was going to hit the other boy but instead he swung at something- at someone- on the ground. I gasped and quickly ducked back down covering my mouth with my hand not daring to make the slightest of sounds.

"We told you not to come back, your just going to cause trouble for every one again" one of them exclaimed and I swear I heard the sound of bones cracking. "If the Fyfe's find out that you are back you'll be done for, we tried to warn you last time"
